Well... obviously your CPU likes the high voltage...
Honestly, Asus has a lot of problems with their voltages on the A7V too. It identifies my friends Athlon Thunderbird as requesting 1.80 V even in the newest BIOS, and also gives the chipset about 3.55 V by default. I think they're trying this trick to improve stability in general. Not a very nice thing to do, but quite understandable if you think about the voltage problems many cards had with Athlon Classic + Geforce. IMNSHO, they lower resistance and hope the system will end up at the right voltage when you start adding many peripherals and stuff...
